To help you deal with the disruption to Metro during its safety improvements, here's some excellent information from Montgomery County Commuter Services:

It's Time: Make alternative commuting plans. Metrorail service on the Red Line will be extremely limited and slow during Metro's upcoming "Safety Surges" on these dates:

August 1-7 (Continuous single tracking between Takoma and Silver Spring)

August 9-18 (Continuous single tracking between Shady Grove and Twinbrook)

October 10 - November 1 (Line segment shutdown between Ft. Totten and NoMa)

Plan for the Worst: Although each surge targets a limited section of the Red Line, you should expect major disruptions and very long delays throughout the entire loop between Shady Grove and Glenmont.Choose Alternatives: Visit montgomerycountymd.gov/commute to explore your options.

Montgomery County Ride On will provide additional bus service on certain routes and free shuttles between affected Metrorail stations. Ride On will also provide on-street ambassadors at affected Metrorail stations to help direct travelers to transit options. (WMATA plans to enhance Metrobus service in surge areas, too.)
